Destination:
Expansive grain-fields, woods with plenty of game, vineyards, picturesque villages
and a number of reservoirs and lakes characterize this area. In two nature parks you
will find vegetation not generally expected in this area: carnivorous plants,
capercaillie on the higher grounds and lynx in the woods. But the main attraction of a
boating holiday in the Alsace-Lorraine lies in the historic water buildings and
structures. A number of manual and electric locks, several tunnels, the huge lock of
Réchicourt and the boat-lift of St. Louis-Arzviller are among other awesome
structures present.
The main waterways Canal de la Marne au Rhin, Canal de l’Est, Mosel(le) and Saar-
Canal are multi-faceted: meandering rivers intersect with straight canal-sections. The
waterway runs through mountainous areas, vast fields of open countryside, and busy
towns like Strassbourg, Saverne, Saarbrücken, Nancy and Toul as well as dreamy
little wine villages.
